In an effort to push olefin metathesis to the limits of conjugation in reactants and products, the C40-symmetrical carotenoids β,β-carotene (1), lycopene (2), (3R,3′R)-zeaxanthin (3), and rac-isozeaxanthin (4), which are conjugated undecaenes, have been synthesized from C21-terminal hexaenes by treatment with Grubbs' second-generation Ru catalyst in dichloromethane at 50 °C.

Olefination of carbonyl compounds with gem-dizincio-alkanes, bis(iodozincio)methane, 1,1-bis(iodozincio)ethane, and bis(bromozincio)methyltrimethylsilane, afforded the corresponding olefins in good to excellent yields.
Highly selective synthesis of vitamin A and its derivatives. Critical comparison of some known palladium-catalyzed alkenyl-alkenyl coupling reactions
Negishi,Owczarczyk
, p. 6683 - 6686 (2007/10/02)
Vitamin A has been synthesized cleanly and selectively with essentially complete control of stereo- and regiochemistry in four linear and six overall steps from β-ionone and (E)-3-methyl-2-penten-4-yn-1-ol via Pd-catalyzed cross coupling of an alkenylzinc with an alkenyl iodide; the use of other metals, such as Al, Zr, Mg, B, Cu, and Sn, being inferior to that of Zn.
